DualHexan is an alternative version of HexenDS. It is a dual-screen port of Hexen to the Nintendo DS initially made by Rich Whitehouse. This modified version is made by Sektor with added support for more devices, sleep mode, quit to menu option, different control settings and some other minor changes.

It was entered into the 2009 best DS homebrew contest.

Download and extract hexenDS.nds to the apps folder of your card.

DLDI patch it (if you have a GBAMP, M3CF, SCCF, SCSD or DS-X then you don't need to use the DLDI patch) and put it in your card.
